Using a novel three-dimensional holographic technology to perform open vascular surgery procedures.

Augmented reality technology has been introduced during recent years into everyday clinical practice. Several surgical specialties have begun using such technology for preoperative planning as well as intraoperatively. Regarding vascular surgery, a limited number of reports have described the benefits, mainly for endovascular procedures. We aim to present a novel three-dimensional holographic system we used to perform an open vascular procedure.
